Carpet Care Maintenance

Regular Maintenance

After your new carpet installation, regular carpet maintenance is essential to keep it looking fresh and clean. Be sure to vacuum frequently to remove dust, dirt, and everyday grime. We recommend using an upright, high suction vacuum with a beater brush function, which is ideal for cleaning carpets and helps re-set the pile as you clean. This practice also aids in effective stain removal, ensuring your carpet stays in great condition.

Bleach Cleanable Carpets

Many of our man-made pile composition carpets are 'bleach-cleanable,' which enhances carpet maintenance. This means you can effectively clean stains from your carpet using a solution of about 10-20% bleach mixed with 80-90% water. By gently blotting this solution onto the carpet, you can achieve successful stain removal without harming the pile.

Professional Cleaning

We highly recommend incorporating professional carpet maintenance into your routine by having your new carpet cleaned during its lifespan. The frequency of cleaning carpets depends on your budget and personal preferences, but a thorough, professional clean can effectively aid in stain removal, eliminate daily grime, reset your carpet's pile, and make it look like new.

Pile flattening

It's a reality that over time, your carpet's pile will flatten, especially in areas with heavy wear. This doesn't imply that your carpet is wearing out; rather, it's a natural process where the pile is simply flattening. Wool carpets tend to be more resilient against this issue, thanks to their remarkable bounce-back ability. To ensure effective carpet maintenance and help your pile regain its natural position, using a powerful upright vacuum with a beater bar function from Day One is highly recommended, as it works better than a nozzle-type device. Additionally, regular cleaning carpets and prompt stain removal will extend the life and appearance of your carpet.

Stain Removal

In all cases of carpet maintenance, speed is of the essence. The quicker you can act, the higher the chance of successful stain removal. Never 'scrub' your carpet, as this will 'burst the pile', and avoid applying any caustic or abrasive solutions. Often, a small amount of washing-up liquid mixed with water and blotted onto the carpet will effectively assist in cleaning carpets and removing stains. If this method fails to work, please contact us directly for further advice and help.
